 |
|
Unmasker it is flexible tool for unmasking Gentoo packages.
All setting can be specified in /etc/unmasker.conf
Tool is supported following options:
# Possible values are: category, package
naming_mode=package
# Generate file with postfix name, for example xorg-x11_by_umasker
use_postfix=1
# Postfix value for generated file
postfix='_by_umasker'
# File used when 'world' is target of unmasker
other_file_name='other'
# Enable debug or disable
debug=0
Version 0.3 changelog:
1. Automatic convertion of /etc/portage/package.{keywords,unmask} files to folders if requared. This mean - if you have only /etc/portage/package.{keywords,unmask} files (not folders) they are will be moved into folder with same name, to make config files more understandable.
Example of generated files by unmasker:
| Code: | island package.keywords # ls -l *unmasker | awk '{print $8}'
kdebase-meta_by_unmasker
kde-meta_by_unmasker
linux-docs_by_unmasker
nvidia-settings_by_unmasker
tuxonice-sources_by_unmasker
x11-apps_by_unmasker
x11-libs_by_unmasker
x11-misc_by_unmasker
xen-sources_by_unmasker |
Where xen-sources_by_unmasker, nvidia-settings_by_unmasker are generated using package name based naming policy, and x11-apps_by_unmasker, x11-libs_by_unmasker using package category policy.
2. Following properties are added into config file: unmask_mode, prefer_slotted, use_postfix, postfix.
unmask_mode - unmasking mode, values are: 'greater', 'equal'. Allow unmask not only requared versions, but with ">=" modifier too
prefer_slotted - unmask slot instead simple package version, if slot available
use_postfix - enable or disable postfix for generated files
postfix - allow to set postfix for generated files.
3. Many new command line options are added, you can see it using "unmasker -h" command (examples of usage avaliable too).
Note:
eix tool dependency is added. Please be sure what your eix database is not out of date (prefer_slotted - can don't work correctly).
Usage examples:
Unmask 3.5.10 version of kde-meta
| Code: | | # unmasker =kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.10 |
Unmask 3.5.10 version of kde-meta using only required versions and try to use slot instead of version
| Code: | | # unmasker --prefer-slotted 1 --unmask-mode equal =kde-base/kde-meta-3.5.10 |
Unmask kde-svn slot of kde-meta package
| Code: | | # unmasker kde-meta:kde-svn |
Umask kde-svn slot of kde-meta package and name generated files with specifyed prefix
| Code: | | # unmasker --postfix '_generated' kde-meta:kde-svn |
Note:
eix tool dependency is added. Please be sure what your eix database is not out of date (prefer_slotted - can don't work correctly).
